State Farm sued over alleged hail damage in Katy

State Farm is being sued after homeowners say the company failed to properly manage their insurance claim for hail-damaged property in Katy.

John and Patty Davis filed a lawsuit on Friday, May 11 in the Harris County District Court against State Farm Lloyd's and insurance adjuster Blayne Harris, citing breach of contract and violations of the Texas Insurance Code.

The Davises say on July 27, 2010, a hail storm pounded the Katy area and damaged their State Farm-insured property. Although their house suffered significant damage, State Farm improperly denied, and/or underpaid, their claim, according to the brief.

The Davises are seeking attorney's fees, court costs and damages. They are being represented in the case by Houston attorney Richard D. Daly.
